Welcome
African Nutritionists re-commit themselves in improving nutrition
The participants of the first FANUS Congress in Quarzazate, Morocco, expressed concern about the nutrition related problems in Africa, which indicate that this Continent will not achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015 if nothing is done about the current situation. The nutritionists and nutrition practitioners were particularly concerned about the slow progress in the reduction of poverty, hunger and malnutrition (PHM) in all its forms in Africa, a necessary prerequisite for gains in education, health, social equality, environmental sustainability and international solidarity.
The Federation of African Nutrition Societies (FANUS) in collaboration with NUTRITION SOCIETY OF NIGERIA present the 2ND FANUS meeting with the theme "Accelerating Nutrition Action for Africa's Development".
